Unions in 1806 Times change, but human beings do not always change with them. In 1806 a Philadelphia court was trying striking workmen.

The decision contained this passage: "A combination of workmen to raise their wages may be considered from a twofold point of view. One is to benefit themselves. The other is to injure those who do not join their society. The rule of law condemns both." Most people nowadays would regard this naive view with astonishment. And yet it often crops up, either in so many words or by implication, in casual private talk in the utterances of influential citizens, and in the organs of opinion that follow these citizens.

Food in Europe A study of food consumption made for the United Nations by its Economic Commission for Europe shows that most Europeans are now back to their pre-war standard of eating. Greece, not included in this study, still lacks sufficient food and cloth- tog. Another interesting fact brought out by the report is that the calorie intake of the people in the poorer countries is about the same as in those with more resources, only about 3 percent difference existing between Yugoslavia and Denmark. The amount of proteins and fats consumed does, however, vary considerably in favor of the richer countries. This difference is less than before the war.

A planned economy makes little difference in such matters, it seems, for meat consumption has fallen just as much in free Switzerland as it has in Britain. What do llieofe fitcLo piOvc? Fui Clic thing, that we need no longer lose sleep over starving Europeans. For another, that America's efforts to help in raising the deplorable living standards that existed at the close of the war have been successful. Directly by shipments of food and indirectly by furnishing agricultural machinery and other helps, we have aided restoring prewar standards in a remarkably short time. Battler for Socialism If Norman Thomas is the best known Socialist, the late McAlister Coleman could be called the party's public relations man.

He was a tireless writer of books and letters to the press, expounding the Socialist viewpoint. Often he filled out the party tickets by running for almost any office for which no other candidate was immediately available, from United States senator to alderman. Like other staunch Socialists, he was no Communist. His party has made its chief appeal to the same groups of voters among whom Communist recruits are found. On this account Socialism is Communism's worst enemy, and is recognized as such by both sides of the battle.

Should the Reds ever take over the United States, men like Coleman and Norman Thomas would be among the first sent to face the firing squad. Fortunately for all lands, this outcome seems unlikely. Like Thomas. Coleman took campaigns good-humoredly, recognizing that no Socialist was going to be elected, but taking satisfaction from the eventual adoption of measures for which his party's arguments had gradually prepared the way. Their party polls so few votes now that such considerations will have to be their chief consolation.

The world boasts air mail, telephone and telegraph and yet the grapevine still holds its own. National Whirligig Truman, Congress Relations at Low Ebb By Ray Tucker Washing-ton Relations between President Truman and a Congress nominally controlled by his own party have degenerated to such a degree that it is doubtful if there has heel, more bitter feeling be- jtween th? execu- Jtive and legislative branches of government I In modern history. It Is the basic jthe strange fact Bay Tncker that two successive sessions, one Republican and one Democratic, have failed to enact even a minor portion of his "fair deal" program. Debates on the floor and discussions in committee furnish indisputable evidence for this conclusion. Moreover, there are unusually significant features to these expressions of resentment.

Realizing that failure to satisfy the reti! buyers and oonjumw muy hurt UM next November, Mr. Truman demanded that Speaker Raybum prod the committee into action. Sam tried, begging the Democratic majority, to "give the President what he wants so that we can pass some kind of a tax bill to help the party." 9 EXPERT? "Since when," demanded Chairman Robert L.

A white paper last year blamed him for the loss of China to the Commun- is'-s through incompetence and corruption in his administration and because of failure to make needed reforms. President Truman said Formosa was Chinese territory and the United States wa5 not going to get involved the civil war.

But now, in addition to whatever MacArthur may have said, reports are reaching Washington that real steps are bejng taken to strengthen Formosa's defenses and improve its administration as well. These reports jibe with the" results of a recent private survey of opinion among virtually all the top Chinese and American officials on the island. The survey was made by people who were interested solely in learning for themselves what the true situation is. They reached these That both military and civilian will to fight is good. That reforms are following a new awareness of failures on the mainland That bad feeling between the islanders and Chiang's forces hai.

What puzzles me is how a shoe shine boy ever accumulates enough money to become a shoe shine boy Are they sons of wealthy parents?

Or is there a foundation, patterned along the lines of the Rockefeller Foundation which gives aid to Damascenes who show unusual talent foi making a shoe, even the oldest ore.
